Across the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) technology toolkit
website, an educator can find many tools to use with their classrooms.
The websites and technology are mostly free, which is fantastic news to
school districts’ and teachers’ budgets. They are all separated into types of
help, which makes it easy to navigate. We
can easily implement the technology with our students who need it. Not
every student is the same and that means we must find a method or tool that
assists students. Students can learn better through audio, visuals,
videos, or written learning. It was
interesting to see and use a few of these tools. I could definitely use many of these with
future students with learning disabilities. I understand all the new technology
is useful but I do not know if they can always assist with every problem that
arises. Classrooms always have surprises
and not every student is going have the same issues.
I also enjoyed that so many of the teaching tools on this website were free! It's a great resource.
ReplyDeleteI found the UDL website very helpful and will definitely be using it in my classroom. What was your favorite tool from the toolkit?
ReplyDeleteI also found this website to be most helpful. I like that they have broken down the checkpoints and have concrete examples for each strategic network.
